I finished rereading it on Christmas Eve, and I actually hope some students will give it a chance because it has a nice little message about following your own heart and discovering what's really important in life.
"All men have the stars . . . but they are not the same things for different people. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are not more than little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For my businessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You—you alone—will have the stars as no one else has them—"
Extra credit for students who took the time to read it during their break and can complete a short, meaningful assignment about it!
“A lovely story . . . which covers a poetic, yearning philosophy—not the sort of fable that can be tacked down neatly at its four corners but rather reflections on what are real matters of consequence.”
—The New York Times Book Review
